there are drift boats (party boats) and charters in many locations there....
You can speak to a charter Capt. about a 4 hour trip. They do those regularly. It will be more expensive but he'll get lots of individual attention, no tangles with the people around you. You don't have to walk a tough fish around the boat as much etc... Those trips usually run around $400. plus tip. They'll usually take up 4 people for that price depending on the Capt. and what kind of boat they run.
Plenty of drift boats around. They pretty much all do half day trips. The half days run from $35- $40 per person plus tip.The Capt. On the Sea Legs 2 in Hollywood Fla. told me that the King fish bite is really strong in May.That's fun fishing. There'll probably be Sailfish etc. too.
you can google ft. Lauderdale fishing. Or google Just Add Water charters , Capt Ron Mallet, he does pretty well from the look of his reports. there are plenty to choose from.
Good luck! Lemme know how you do and who you choose!
